title: Umbilical surgery in calves.
abstract: Calves benefiting from umbilical surgery can be affected by several different conditions. However, the practitioner should be able to correct any of these conditions surgically, especially in young calves, as a field procedure. Like other aspects of veterinary practice, the individual must decide what services he/she wishes to offer clients in the field or clinic setting and which ones will be referred. The objective of this article is to equip practitioners who wish to treat umbilical masses surgically with the information they need.
